LORE ,111ELVILLE OA, SIR, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.V. I The recommendation of this enlighiened Nubl, mon to give every possible encouragement to the Timber Trade of the King's North American Co lonies will, it is conceived, receive from his Ma, jesty's Government the most serious attention and cbnstderation. In a Letter addre-sed by his Lord ship to Mr. Perceval, on Naval Timber, ptiblished list week, are the following observations on this important subjett. gOREIGNI surrLY. " Among these expedients, our American Co lonies, our East India Posse,sions, and the Island of Trinidad, have been particularly mentioned. " ADI,ERICAN COLONIES. " With regard to the first of these resources, the American Colonies, necessity has, at last, coin veiled us to du that which true policy should have induced usi,at all times to have done. The shutting up of the ports of. the Baltic, and our. being there by deprived or the means of obtaining supplies of masts, states, and other articles of timber for tISe Navy, have driven us to the expedietit of receiving, through the abtive exertions of individuals, supplies of these articles from our American Colonies ; and thus the Timber Trade of that country will be en couraged, unless a prospect of returning to the for mer channels of supply should present itself; and then, however faint the hope may be, - ol a continu ance of the means of being supplied from the Baltic; we shall perhaps see the rising ex pett a ions of our own Colonies again disappointed. This source of supply ought never to be lost sight of, and Government will be wanting in duty.to the country, if it neglels to foster resources which, in the hour of any appre hended danger,: we must be under the necessity of resorting to. I have been induced to offer this sug gestion, from the consideration of the prejudices widen have often existed against the Timber Trade of America, .high, though rising into greatneSs at a former period, received a death-blow. by the Ame rican war, and has been ever since rpo much ne gleded, until our wants forced us to revive r it ; and the abunclaut supplies of timber to be obtained from that quarter, rendered it of too. much im portance to be trifled with, or treat with in--. difference. " Every supply of oak, or any other American timber, applicable to naval purposes is of import ance in a two-fold view. First, in respect, of the• positive supply the Navyderives trona the impor tation, and, secondiy, by the benefit dir el y. or indirectly received from such importation, in so. far as American wood is substituted for that of home produce, in the intern uses -of tho country, and in the building of commercial shipping, and thertby saving a part of the timber of our own growth, from being diverted from the.sapply 'of our dock-yards. On triese groutids, I concetvQ we 9001 not, under any circumstauceb, to relax from giving_ every possible encouragement to the Timaer . frado of America." From these remarks it is candid to presume the Noble Lord Was trot apprised of the measures which had been previousiy taken by his Majesty's Mini sters, to extend ihe intercourse between the United Kingdom .and the British North American Colonies, with' a .view to promote the Timber Trade from ehence, otherwise In. would have noticed them ; for on the eed of May last, the Rouse of Come mons, on the motion of Mr. Rose, resoled to double the present 'duties on foreign Timber; ac cordtngly a Bill for that purpose was introduced, which, after some alterations from the opposition of the. Cornish Miners, received the Royal Assent on'. the 15th of June. It is also to be remarked, that timber from these province's is not at present liable to any duty. • This Salutary measure, Mr. Editor, will when brought, into full operation, namely,. after the first of January 1812,, be attended with the greatest na tiotial 'advantages ; it will give increased employ t ment to British Ships and British seamen, .for ;here is every reason to believe that" upwards of oneehou sand ships will be engeged even this season in the Trade from Great. Britain to these Colonies; it will relieve the country Item any Anther drain •of specie for foreign Timber which is generally brought in foreign vessels ; it will extend the export of our own mdeetadures to the British American Colonies;; ! and encourage and improve those new sources of trade with tee interior of North America, which have already presented themselves to the :notice of the Biitishenerchants in Canada. It is however, to be hoped, that the opinion now exeressedeby Lord Melville, Will induce : the Legislature in the next Session of Parliament to repeal the exception in the laee'AEt in-favour of Timber the.growth of Nor- • ' way. Serious inconvenience is already felt in the Timber Trade from its injurious operation, and no • real benefit can be derived from it by the Cornish Miners, at. whose request it was inserted in the Act ; it is literally giving to Norway, a bonus at the cx penva of Great Britain; it being evident to every person.conversant in the Trad e , th at wh il st t hi s ex , ; cep+ ion continues, the Norwegians (exclusive of the The Renfrew Regiment of Militia' have received other advantages they possess from proximil of ceders to hold theenselve.e.ineeeadiness,faeembar k situatiee) will advance the price of . their .Timber, 10 11 fiorn the Tower fur Scotland; and it is report- to the amount of the ditnience of tie duties upon ad that they will. be succeeded by the .2d battalion it,_ and of those on Timber from the Baltic; but in bel ong i ng to the 3 d R eg i ment of Foot Guards. case Norway Ti m b er was li a bl e to the 'payment of It seems to be g ener a lly b e li eve d, at l east is strongly . ttetie s t o w e same amount as Baltic Timber; the -late Ad would produ c e th e same etleet on the former r i eported, that th e t wo boys . to whom B uoNeektaz has consigned the Government of Holland are his as on all foreign timber, namely, a redudion in the oev e 80116 t 4 the dauehter of his real wife, for the price of it in the countries from whence it is elustriao: Princess is certainly not to N considered brought.

LOAD° Ai SESSIONS, Yesterday John Bar lowe and lli , Lyon, the latter a JL-w: about do years of age,, were i n c ti dt .d as accomplices in a high misdemeanour, with in tent to cdmmit a detestable crime, on the trig:.r of the '24th of April last. The prosecutor, St . an , ton, having .cause ,to sasped the intention of the tra vrrsers, watched them from Geolge-street, bet„ d the MarisiOn House, to a dark'allev, leading from Bearhinder-iane, in.° Lombard-street, where he de te:lted them in the tali ; 'secured Barlow on the spot,. but Lyon made his escape, ,and tor apprehended hint 'some weeks atterwards in St, chorch-yard. The prisoners were both round Guilty._ Lyon had been. already twice convicted of the like offence; the first time in 1796, for which he was imprisonei wgate three years, ati held in recognizance, himself in 1001. and two Sureties for 501. each, for, three years 'after the ex eiration of his s en te nce; an d the second ;ime 'in 1805, when he' was sentenced t o tour ye ars i mpr i 4 w sonent and similar recoguizan ces. Tne Court, ia Consideration of his being thus shewn to be an in corrigible offender, ordered his second recognizance tc). be estreated, and himself to be imprisoned flue years in I.\4:wgate, and to fi-d the liise recog- s nizance for seven years after the expiration of his sentence. Barlowe, who is a young reran, and had , been a Gentleman's- servant, was sentenced, to two years imprisonment, and the same recognzzances as Lyon. 2 homas Siney was indicted to; an assault with the like Intent upon a youth named Nicholson, in Moortields, on the 29th of April. The assault was clearly proved. The prisoner, ,in a sane - lified tone, made 'a long speech - in his - defence, said he was coming from a place of worship, and that it was the prosecutor who made 'the assault upon him. He said he had been but three weeks in London, and was going from the Tabernacle to his lodgings in Tash-street, Gray's Inn-lane; but he produced no witnesses even to charader. Verdict—Guilty. ' The Court siitenced him to two years impri sonment, and the like recognizances as in the pre cedmg cases. Caution against purchasing Regimental Clothes.— Last week a fisherman at Itowlivdge was convicted before the Magistrates at Colchester in the'penalty of 51. for 'buying a regimental great-coat.-1( to be hoped this may serve as a caution to others against pirchasingisuch articles in fin me from soldiers, un lesS santtione,l by the presence of a non-commis sioned Otlicer. i*LANCEIOLY ACCIDENT.—On the evening of Thursday last about a h un d re d Dissenters assembled together at a Meeting-house 'at Horn End, betwixt Christchurch and Poole, to,hear the orations of a man-of the name, of Hodges, when a part of the roof .fell in, and tour p¢: sons were killed, besi its a number seriously hurt. The Meeting -house form ed part of a barn, and . was iu a very bad stake, inasmuch as it did not atrold a shelter from rain. Another miscreant was taken up yesterday, for having extorted o'ol. at various limes of a Gentleman in Wigmore-street, unda a threat of charging him with vicious propensities. Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock, there was a very tempestuous storm at Windsor, of thunder, hail, and rain, which lasted for upwards of half an hour., The hail-stones that fell were as big as a common marble,'and might have been swept up in pecks•in the streets. It has beaten all the fruit off the trees, and cut all the peas and beans down in the gardens in its environs. It was su very se vere, that it has stripped all the trees and vinese as bad as if it had been thrashed. • An extraordinary circumstance occurred last week a farm in the neighbourhood of Llauelly ; a young girl, accompanied by - her brother, driving some cows into the tiell from milking, was attacked by.a bull, thrown dowo, and•triirrr l ,l e d upon ; the boy, anxious for his sister's sa,iety, picked up a sharp stone, which he threw at the animal, and striking bid) between th e eyes, he fell dead instantly, tl stone being literally buried in the skull, I
